This is a very distinctive small to medium-sized Agave that forms dense clumps to nearly 2 feet tall by 5 feet wide comprised of 10 to 16 inch wide rosettes. The rosettes have narrow blue-gray leaves that are evenly spaced and radiate straight out from the center of the plant. The leaves have very straight margins with contrasting small dark brown teeth and an even darker 1 inch long terminal spine. We have not observed this plant to flower in gardens in Santa Barbara. It has been reported that the age of the plant needs to be 15 years or better to flower. Mary and Gary Irish report in "Agaves, Yuccas and Related Plants" that it forms purple-tinged green flowers with a fuzzy interior and are borne on slender stalks to 6 1/2 feet tall that have 10 to 14 side branches. Plant in well drained soil in full sun (Light shade or eastern exposure in hot low desert areas). Little irrigation is necessary in coastal gardens but should be given occasionally in warmer inland situations. Native to barren rocky ground in the Mexican state of Oaxaca and near Tehuacan in Puebla. Hardy to 25 This description is based on research and personal experiences.
Winter Hardiness: 20-25° F
